Debits the calling organisation’s own currency wallet. The request is created as Pending and the tokens are moved into escrow; it still needs to be approved before funds are disbursed. A withdrawal.created webhook is emitted.

disburse_amount = amount − fee, where fee is the withdrawal fee from your *_WITHDRAWAL_FEE config.
